SashaWLS 412 Posted May 3, 2012 Thought I was totally better, but tonight I've been aching around my port site (next to my belly button) and under my left rib where I had a lot of gas pains the first week... Is this normal? I'm a little weirded out that it hurts all of a sudden... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meredithsings 11 Posted May 3, 2012 Yesssss. I am 14 days post op and on day 8 it felt like someone was in my belly sticking me with pin (ouch!) if I turned certain ways or just sitting. I also occasionally get the rib pain. Its usually when im driving and its very sharp and sudden and I yell, and then it goes away. The belly button pain was explained by the surgeons nurse that its probably where the stitching is connected to the muscle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
